The return leg of the #hike from #DulvertonToTarrSteps was significantly longer in terms of distance as it followed a meandering river on its way to #Dulverton. Here are some interesting and noteworthy features of the journey.

These #PineTrees are grown for #softwood #timber. They have been planted in a regular array, producing an interesting geometrical effect. They’re about 25-30 m tall.

Some barely living trees had become very oddly shaped in their later years.

By the side, there were #stumps of several felled #trees which had been left to #rot and #decay. They make a #habitat for #ferns, #lichens and #fungi.

Some #paths are little more than #mudtracks and as it had rained heavily on the previous day, #puddles remained and the ground was quite muddy… Part of the fun of #hiking, I find, is getting a bit dirty in the process.

#PublicFootpaths often go through #farmland but also sometimes through #farmyards. Walking through one of the latter, we spotted these #chickens. The #hens started to retreat to their #barn as they spotted us approaching while the #cock remained outside just to make sure we weren’t going to try anything.
